Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I just bought a 6U EMS modular rack case from www.cpcase.com (actually I got
it second-hand for 50 quid), with the slanting mounting kit that fits in the
top. The case is made from a lightweight composite.

Inside I have mounted my E-MU E6400Ultra in the bottom three units, a small
gap (less than 1U, and in the top is my MP-7. The whole thing is barely
bigger than an E-MU rack sampler with an XX-7 sitting on top, and is much
more prtable coz everything is bolted down and it's got handles and lids
etc.

The best part is that I haven't modded anything, nor have I compromised any
future expansion possibilities (if you put the XX-7 inside the E5000, I
doubt you will be able to fit an RFX card in there if you ever wanted to -
and you might given that you can add a 4 input expansion to the RFX card
that will enable you to route all the 6 outs from the XX-7 thru the sampler,
including both the samplers filters and envelopes, and the RFX effects).

Subject: [xl7] Just had a crazy idea!


Just so you know where I am coming from here a few words of
history.  I am a pc mod geek and am very good with a dremel.  Who
here would not love to have the heart and soul of a Eos sampler
built into a XL?

Ok so I have a E5000 and a XL-7.  The last time I looked there was a
wack of room in my E5000.  Hmmm ya know what I think there may have
been room for all that is inside a XL.......Oh man.  Just picture a
E5000 with XL built right into the top.  Ok I am not saying that I
am going to do it but I will say that i am going to give it some
serious thought!

I have not posted here in ages but this wacky idea I had to share
with some other XL peeps.  Any thoughts from the group?  worth a
try?  What do you guys think ?

Peace

Mike G.

P.s. the IBGEEK group could use a bit of life.  it is a dying group,
